“…Bevacizumab quickly reaches the subretinal space after an intravitreal application, therefore, the photoreceptor layer and the RPE could be at risk (12,21) . However, pigmented rabbits were used only in a few studies found in the pertinent literature, whose follow-up was also shorter than 4 weeks (22)(23) .…”

“…Interestingly, when the effects of VEGF were blocked by pegaptanib, which does not bind to VEGF 120 (the equivalent of VEGF 121 in humans), there was no decrease in the number of retinal ganglion cells. Other authors have not found the intravitreous injection of bevacizumab (which blocks all circulating VEGF isoforms) to have any direct toxic effects on retinal ganglion cells [54,55]. Moreover, bevacizumab seems to have neutral effects on several types of retinal cell (including ganglion cells) in culture [56][57][58].…”
